Let us take care of you for the weekend

Spend the weekend with Michelle DuVal, MA, director of TMC, and really get mindfulness into your bones in this mini-retreat deep dive into the skills, the practices, and the incredible benefits of mindfulness meditation. Part teaching, part experiential, throughout the weekend you’ll be guided by Michelle through some of the most essential practices in mindfulness meditation with two basic goals in mind:

Included with the Weekend Intensive is a special series of guided meditations created just for this, so you can bring your Retreat Mind back with you into daily life.

In this Weekend Intensive you will learn:

How to practice and/ or deepen your daily practice of mindfulness meditation with consistency and efficiency….even if you’ve struggled in the past

New practices designed to help you engage in a more intentional way with your kids, your co-workers, your loved ones, heck, even your neighbors barking dog!

How to expand your field of practice to include more of your daily life….this might surprise you!

Unique mindful walking and eating practices that just might change the way you show up for certain parts of your day

How to let go at times of some of the repetitive, daily grind kind of stuff so as to set your mind on other aspects of life as well

As part of this workshop you will receive:

A wonderful set of downloadable guided meditations designed to help you reconnect with your Retreat Mind after the retreat has ended

Thoughtful writings designed to help keep you inspired to practice

Terrific videos with experts in the field sharing some of the research on mindfulness, neuroscience, and lovely little mindfulness life-hacks…some of the most thought-provoking topics I’ve seen handled in exceptional ways

Coffee, tea and uber-flaky-style croissants for our Sunday morning session as we incorporate some mindful eating into our practice session

From Michelle

Michelle DuVal – Director of TMC Albuquerque
“It’s been a dream of mine to begin weekend intensives. With time for real practice, teachings and discussion in a beautiful natural environment. We’ll get out of the city a little bit on Saturday in order to really let our meditation sink in. Then I’ll send you home with some contemplative practices designed to hopefully enable some aha moments, and then we come back together on Sunday in another peaceful setting in the city for some thoughtful discussion and workshops, meditation, coffee and croissants. Would love to have you in my care for the weekend.” Click here for Michelle’s bio.

SLEEP ISSUES

Body Scan for Relaxation

The next best thing to sleep is rest. If you can use this meditation to help you move into a state of rest, you are at least now moving in a good direction. So don't be discouraged if it doesn't put you right to sleep. Use it to put you to rest, and then see what happens.

I hope so much this helps,
